Hey, I have a version 1 ps2 and I have tried backing-up several different movies several different ways... I have tried turning movies into .m2v files and burning onto dvd -r's... I have tried DVD-Lab Pro and making Video_TS folders and stuff, .. but no matter what I do it just doesnt seem to work. Is there any guides for backing up dvd's on dvd-r/version 1 ps2's? By the way, I am using Fujifilm DVD-R's. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Have you tried playing the DVD's is a DVD player other than on the comp you're using to create them? I've been trying to do something similar (burn a video DVD, however I'm converting from .mov to DVD) with no success, i get a "Disc Read Error" when inserting the disk into my PS2, version 1. The disc plays fine on my work PC, though i haven't gotten to try it out in any other DVD players i'm suspecting it will work. i was reading online on this forum and others that DVD-R movies should work fine in the PS2, depending on the brand of media you are using, which brings me to my real reason for posting...
I'm also using FugiFulm DVD-R's, 4x i believe. Maybe this is the cause of the problem??? Has anyone else here had issues with FugiFilm media not working in PS2???
yes, the movies do work in a dvd player but the Video_TS type always freeze about halfway through the movie, .. i understand that it has to be in dvd format (Video_TS) in order to work, but those dvd's only work partly. If i just burn the .m2v file onto dvd, they fully work on a dvd player but now in a ps2, for the ps2 i think that it has to be in Video_TS format. Thanks

ah, OK i follow what you mean now. Yes I was just going with the Video_TS method, I just assumed that DVD's would have to be in that format to be read by DVD players, I guess that is not the case for all of them. I would think it likely that it is required for PS2, but since i'm new to this i can't say.
Use Nero, select dvd-video compilaton copy the folder Video_TS and paste it in Nero. dvd-video has its own format. you cant simply burn it as you would with data files.
ok, ... but what should i use to get my .m2v files into Video_TS? I think the DVD-Lab Pro that i got is the problem... please help. Thanks

HELP I am confude. I burn a movie using RecordNow on my Vaio VGC-RB38G. USING A SONY DVD RW DW-D22A. I used Verbatim DVD+R 16X 4.7 Disc. And I believe it originaly is a DivX movie I could be wrong. I tryed playing in my Sony Playstation2 and it did not play it said to insert a playstation 2 compatible disk with a red backround. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. Do I need to use a different program to burn movie to the disk or buy a DVD player. Also if the DVD player say it will play a DVD+RW will it play a DVD+R? May sound silly but I want to be sure.
hey, i dont think that if something only plays dvd +r's, then it will play +rw's. Meaning they wont play if that is the case. I have a dvd player that works dvd+r, but wont work dvd+rw. I hope that helped.
